No Rest for the Wicked (Life Is Hell Book 1) by Naomi Valkyrie – Review by Bobbi Wagner

No Rest for the Wicked (Life is Hell #1)No Rest for the Wicked by Naomi Valkyrie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. I have read all of this author’s books, this is my favorite yet so far. This is a well developed story that is a great start to a new series. The characters brought the story to life for me. I had no problems connecting with them. Delilah is such a great character and my favorite. It is so great seeing a character that is so strong and female to boot. She feels that she is a burnt out demon so she takes a break only to find herself in a small town that has many secrets. Will she learn there is no rest for the wicked or will she find the peace and quiet she desires? This is such an engaging story that I couldn’t put down until the last page. I highly recommend this book and this author.

No Rest for the Wicked (Life Is Hell Book 1) by Naomi Valkyrie
Genre – Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy, Suspense
Delilah Hawthorne
I’m burned out, used up, and currently a sorry excuse for a demon. I need a break. In a bold move, I leave my bar in the hands of a fellow demon and head out of the city with no specific destination.
Finding myself in a small town called Juniper Lake, I think I’ve finally gotten a chance to rest and recharge. No more killing. No more vengeance. Just the sweet relief of peace and quiet.
But the joke’s on me. Juniper Lake is full of secrets. It looks like the old saying is true. There really is no rest for the wicked.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This whole series is worth the read – you will definitely want to read them in order. I love Sci-Fi/Fantasy books and Miss Valkyrie has done an amazing job with the multiple storylines, the characters, and keeping the reader wanting more. Xenobia is a woman who is strong, independent, empathetic, and kind to those around her. In this book, we see the strain Xenobia is under as a leader to keep her business going.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Valkyrie continues to impress with her ability to weave an involved storyline with complex characters and not lose track of the big picture. This continuation from book one definitely picks up where the first ended and is best appreciated if read in series order. You won’t fully appreciate the brilliance of the author’s words without book one – and brilliance is what you find in these pages. I love how Valkyrie has grounded these characters even within the fantasy/paranormal genre. Go ahead and pick up the origin story and book one when you grab this book. Once you start I promise you will want it all.

4 Stars

The story picks up after book one ends. Xenobia has a lot to deal with since taking over House Muerte. As in any takeover, some join willingly whereas others cause problems. Between that and trying to handle the mind link, Xenobia is exhausted. A new evil has stepped up trying to take over causing more stress for her.

Though the book is short, a lot happens within these pages. Drama and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat. The author throws in a few surprises to keep you on your toes. I enjoyed everything except for the ending. It ends a bit abrupt but I’m looking forward to the next in the series.

by Naomi Valkyrie

I absolutely loved this book. I became completely invested when I read the first book and couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one. Xenobia feels overwhelmed and stressed. This book is filled with unexpected twists, danger, action, suspense, and so much more. As soon as I started reading I couldn’t put it down. I found myself on the edge of my seat at times. The author does an exceptional job and draws you into this complex storyline without confusing you. There are so many wonderful characters in this story, some you will love and some you won’t. It’s my advice to read the first book before diving into this one. This book is original and intriguing, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It Comes From Within (House Valdis Book 2) by Naomi Valkyrie is one of those stories that you start in the middle and then you get the backstory later. Like Star Wars. In this second book of the House Valdis series, we finally get a taste of Xenobia’s backstory. In the house of Valdis there is a collection of imperfect misfits misplaced souls that are living and working together just trying to have a family like situation. To be sure there is a mystery to be solved and at the center of that mystery is Xenobia’s past. This is an easy quick read that will whet your appetite for more of Xenobia’s story. Do be aware there are some alternate lifestyle themes cause, you know, different strokes for different folks. This is a good second book and I’m expecting the next one to surpass this one.

It Comes From Within (House Valdis #2) by Naomi Valkyrie was a great 5 star read.

I was pulled right in from the beginning. This was a great storyline. There are several different characters that you meet in book one and continue into book two. We get several POV’s which also helps you connect with them as well.

Xenobia is the head of House Valdis and the main character. Xenobia is feeling the pressure of being the leader and is feeling at her wits end. Her team is trying to find a blood den, what will happen if/when they find it?

Overall this was a great read. All of the characters are strong in their own ways and added a great element to the story. This is a quick read with lots of action, romance, suspense, and so much more. You should read book one first so that you can understand the story and characters better. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series so I can see where things are going. The author does a great job of pulling you right into the story. If you’re looking for a great fantasy read this is the series for you. 1-click and get started today.

It Comes From Within (House Valdis Book 2) by Naomi Valkyrie. I love this series! This is not my favorite genre but once I read the first book I couldn’t wait to read this one. This is the story of Xenobia who is still reeling from events in the first book. With trying to merge the 2 Houses and all the added responsibility Xenobia is overwhelmed to say the least. While in the process of rebuilding someone starts attacking House Valdis and its becoming more dangerous by the minute. Xenobia is finding out who her real friends are and is weeding them out as she goes. When she finds a illegal blood room and is interviewing everyone she finds out someone she trusted is not her friend. The White Queen also has Xenobia in her radar and she plans on taking her out as quick as she can so she can rule. This book is so good and keeps you turning the pages as fast as you can. I truly think you will enjoy it much more if you will read book one first. Do yourself a favor and read It Comes from Within now!

It Comes from Within is book 2 in the House Valdis series by Naomi Valkyrie. I did not read the first book, House Valdis, but I did read Xenobia. While I felt like there was a lot of background knowledge I was missing, it wasn’t detrimental to the story. I still really enjoyed it. I don’t normally read this genre, but am really glad I decided to read it. I honestly love it, and want to read more. There are a lot of characters, which was confusing at first. Some are werewolves, some vampires, etc so I had a hard time remembering who had what powers. I think reading book 1 first would have helped with that, so I recommend reading in order. The whole story line is very creative and the relationships between the characters is great. There was a sense of mystery in the book, trying to figure out who the White Queen is and the connection there. I was glad it wasn’t given away early on. There are a lot of adult themes so definitely for older readers. The story does have a cliff hanger ending so be prepared. I am anxiously awaiting the next book so I can see what happens.

A couple quick things before proceeding, if you have not read book 1, do so before reading this one as it is very helpful and you will be able to follow seamlessly into this story. Also, while this is not my chosen favorite genre, this author sure has a way to rope me right in and enjoy every word.

Xenobia is trying her best to everything needed with joining the 2 houses together and when a threat comes to be, will she be able to step up?
I really love these characters and can just picture everything that is happening.
A great read and I cannot wait for more from this author!

Another adventure into the House of Valdis world and I was not let down. I really like the whole story line and the refreshing take on the supernatural. The characters just seem to come to life as you follow the story and drama. I like how the author has a unique and refreshing take on this. There are so many books now a days that are too close to another that I really find
it refreshing to have a story line and plot that is unique and original.

I really find the characters have a very unique bond that they have formed and the group just really outlines a great base for the book. I thought that the drama really was well laid out and that the basis of the story really draw the reader in. I really like how the author is able to draw upon the Xenobia’s past and show how it has shaped her to what she has become and also the way that she has to show she is not like the old Master and has to come into her own. I really look forward to reading more into this series and see how things unfold.

Naomi Valkyrie has once again shown what an incredible author she is with this supernatural fantasy read.
This is a go-to genre for me but, this author really adds another level to it! She has created a storyline that is compelling, fast-paced and action-packed. All the while creating characters that really stand out and makes this story what it is, EPIC!

This read has got to be my favourite by far, it has to be read as part of the series for the reader to truly connect with the storyline and amazing characters. and be the incredibly captivating read that it is, but not only that you will not want to miss any detail of it!

I don’t want to give any of the story away so I’ll keep it brief, but I was once again left turning the pages wanting to find out more from these brilliant characters stories and the journeys they take along the way. Xenobia is back showing how strong, independent and totally epic she is! I loved that this book is written in various POV’s it gives you an even better understanding of the characters and helps you connect with them even more!

This book is one that you will not want to put down, its exciting, action-packed, suspenseful and epic in every way possible!

I highly recommend this read and will eagerly be awaiting the next in the series!

Well Done Naomi, Well Done!

This is book 2 in the House of Valdis and what a book.

The story continues after 6 months with Xenobia now taking over the House and running it. Surrounded by vampires and people with other supernatural gifts they need to go through all the people who followed the old boss and see who is loyal to her. The stress of trying to merge the two houses starts to take its toll on Xenobia and when a new blood den is found along with it comes a new enemy, The White Queen.
She has her eye set on taking out Xenobia and becoming the leader over the whole area.

Xenobia trys  to figure out the White Queens weaknesses but at every turn the White Queen is one step ahead of her.

Can Xenobia survive the attacks and the memories that flood back to her or will her old memories be her downfall and haunt her forever.

It Comes From Within by Naomi Valkyrie a five-star read that will encapsulate you. This is number two in the House Valdis series and it’s a very complex story with lots of characters, but you will be so consumed by the writing that you will be able to keep up easily. I would definitely advise you to read number one first as this picks a little while after and continues with the story, and its difficult to put what happens into a review as there is so much I don’t want to reveal. Xen was just someone who will surprise you at every turn, but they aren’t the only character that surprised me in this one. Do yourself a favour and pick up the series.

It Comes From Within is the second book in the House Valdis series by Naomi Valkyrie. This series should be read in order to fully understand the plotline. This book takes place six months after the Rise Of the House Valdis. The story is multi layered with amazing characters. I would consider it to be Fantasy/Sci-Fi which is not a normal genre that I read, but Ms. Valkyrie really has my attention with this series. All of the characters in this book have a voice and I love how we learn more about them and thing that have shaped their lives. This author is growing with every book and I look forward to reading many more books in the future.

It Comes From Within (House Valdis Book 2) by Naomi Valkyrie is actually the third book as Naomi recently released a great prequel. This book is a fantastic paranormal fantasy story that has so much in it, action and danger, romance and let’s not forget the humour. There is so much more but I will leave it for you to read and enjoy. This complex yet compelling story is a game changer and I was so engrossed and invested in it. I had to get to the end to see how it all ended up. You need to read the other two books to get the back story of the characters. Honestly, I am ready to read it again it was so good.

This is the second novel in the House Valdis novels from Naomi Valkyrie and I have been loving every adventure filled moment reading them. I would highly recommend that you read the first book before diving into this one because you will need that story background to fully enjoy and follow the novel. One of my favorite parts of reading Valkyrie is she manages to spin a fantasy novel with detail and action that keeps me enthralled. I like the dark elements and the attention to the details that matter. Often while reading fantasy novels I get lost in the made up languages or scenarios that the world is hard for me to dive in. I do not have that problem with Valkyrie’s novels and I love it.This novel takes up six months after the first book and we find Xenobia dealing with a complex set of issues. The way this story builds upon itself makes it hard for me to review without divulging way too much of the good stuff so for the details you will have to read this one yourself. I can’t wait to see what adventures we will find Xenobia and the rest of the gang take on in the next novel!

It Comes From Within by Naomi Valkyrie is the second book in the House Valdis series. This is an incredible book that utterly captivated me from the word go. I love reading about Xenobia. She is such a wonderful character that for me really makes the whole story come alive. I can imagine her so easily and it really feels like I am right there with her.
I would recommend reading this series in order so you can fully understand what is going on although also because they are such fantastic books. The author has written brilliantly original books that are so well developed and thought out that you won’t be able to stop reading them once you have started. There is a bit of everything in there so it really tantalises all of the sense.
I absolutely loved this book from start to finish and I am already eagerly awaiting to see what might be next – in the meantime I might have to re-read the whole series again.

This the second book in the series and I highly recommend reading the first book in the series. This will provide you with the back story and introduce the characters. The description is a fantasy genre but it has many more elements in the story. There is sci-fi, danger, responsibility, secrets, tension, romance and magic to name a few. When the author has a vivid imagination, it makes the story come to life. It is what holds my attention from the very first page until the last page. Character building and relations also keeps the book interesting. In this particular story, I enjoyed the roller coaster ride I took with Xenobia. Xenobia’s storyline continues in book two. She is getting into every bit of trouble, not by her doing but by shadows she does not realize they are around. Danger is present and there is a crisis in the House of Valdis. There is drama and adventure around every corner. I will leave the review with this keep your mind totally open and the images will come to you. Enjoy the series and I cannot wait until the next book.

It Comes From Within by Naomi Valkyrie is the second book in the House Valdis series. I highly recommend reading the first book before this because most of the characters are introduced there. This is a multi-faceted and complex fantasy book. The characters, especially Xenobia, are really deep and interesting. I really enjoy the storyline and it is interesting to see where the author is taking the story. I like the multiple layers of story and character development going on because it pushes the pace of the book and makes it almost impossible to set it down. This is not always one of my favorite genres but Naomi Valkyrie is making a convert of me. She writes and tells a story very well and keeps this reader engaged until the very last page.

House Valdis Origins: Xenobia by Naomi Valkyrie is a prequel to the first novel in this series, The Rise of House Valdis. This is a quick read but very entertaining.

I read this in record time and was sad to see the end of this book. I felt like it covered what was needed and now I will be rereading the first book before grabbing the second book.

House Valdis Orgins: Xenobia is my first experience with the author Naomi Valkyrie. It was not at all what I expected, but I really liked it. It is unlike anything I’ve ever read, I highly recommend it. While it is technically the 3rd book in the series, it is written as a prequel and is advertised as taking place before the first House Valdis novel. I will now go back and read the others in the series, and honestly, cant wait. The book is not for young readers, as it contains scenes of rape and topics of sex slaves. It is a very quick read, but so full of action that it seems like a much longer story. It has great world building and the characters are well written.

Fun! I thought this book was a lot of fun to read. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, and if you are like me and didn’t read the first book then you may get slightly confused. I still pushed through and was happy I did. I would highly recommend you read the first book so you can get some background on all of the characters you will be reading about, which will help you figure out what is happening in this book and what relationships they have with each other. I did read House Valdis Origins so I was at least able to get a glimpse at Xen and Urd. I like how each chapter told whose point of view I was going to be reading, that helped with figuring out what was going on. From where Xen started to where she is now, it seems like she really made something of herself and has been surrounded by people that truly care about her. The relationship between her and Matthew and Onyx is crazy, but in my mind I’m hoping she can sever the ties that hold them together and can be with Chiamaka, I feel like there is something there for them. The twist with the white queen had my mind blown! I loved how the story flowed and all the drama involved around House Valdis. This is not my usual genre but this book really intrigued me with the story and how nicely the characters were developed. I can’t wait to see what comes next.
